The boy’s father, Salim Adam, says they were simply enjoying a family outing when the tragedy occurred.
He says his son was an avid cricketer.
"If you see anything, please notify me. I just wish we can retrieve his body. If we can have his body, and Islamically, we can do our last rite, and so we can move on."
On his brother-in-law, Asif, he called the eThekwini Metro cop a hero.
Asif was laid to rest on Sunday.
